No-Sew Quilted Pillow

Love the beautiful stitch patterns you’ve seen on heirloom quilts? Theyare easy for non-sewers to achieve by simply using quilt stencils and iron-onthreads, as we’ve done in this charming pillow. The look fits into retroor cottage-style home décor, and you can pick colors specificallyto match your room.

Materials needed:
• Purchased throw-pillow case (often found in fabric stores or fabric departments,they usually have decorative trim already sewn in, and have an opening inthe back for filling)
• Polyester fiberfill stuffing
• Quilt stencil to fit the area of the pillow top (find these in quilt shopsor fabric departments)
• Disappearing ink pen or pencil
• Mrs. K’s Iron-on Ribbon in your choice of colors (we used red)
• Household iron or Kreinik Mini Iron
• 3” x 4” Teflon press cloth.

Instructions:
1. Make sure your pillowcase is clean and dry before beginning.
2. Turn your iron onto the highest heat setting and allow it to heat thoroughly.
3. Using a disappearing pen or pencil, trace your quilt stencil pattern ontothe front of the pillowcase.
4. Lay your iron-on thread at a starting point, cover with the Teflon PressCloth, and tack down with your iron.
5. Continue along your traced lines, laying the thread directly on top ofthe marks, pressing the thread in sections, ironing for 3 to 5 seconds tomake sure the thread adheres.
6. When finished, clip the thread and begin in your next area.
7. At the end, fill the pillowcase with stuffing.
